Engraved brass bowl from the mid-20th century with a scalloped edge. Description. This decorative bowl from the mid-20th century is a beautiful example of traditional engraved brass work, combining ornamental richness and warm golden tones. Its harmonious proportions and the density of its decoration make it an elegant centrepiece or a refined display object. Made of solid brass, it is entirely adorned with finely hand-engraved floral patterns and arabesques, both inside and out. The scalloped edge adds a visual rhythm and highlights the silhouette of the piece. The engraving is enhanced by a natural patina and slight signs of oxidation, revealing the depth of the decoration.
